Please admire mane, paws, and claws - and a remarkably serene expression for a lion acting as a footrest for eternity

“I remember Goethe's comment.."Would #Shakespeare be able to develop now?" Because there wasn't any criticism in Shakespeare's day. He just did another play and another. If he'd been analysing all the plays, what would that have done?” #DavidHockney🤍

Do you have any #historicalfiction passages which inspire you? This page from Margaret George’s wonderful novel Mary Queen of Scotland & the Isles is one of mine. For me it is the perfect analogy for how it feels to be ‘fighting’ your way back after #cancer. Admittedly, I haven’t been half-mutilated by a determined Armstrong clansman, but sometimes it feels a bit like that.

Doctor Faustus' ritualistic killing brings the University of Cracow into disrepute. Is the Devil hiding amongst academics?
Nicolaus Copernicus discovers how deep the rot goes and who wears the Devil's mask.

Jack thinks a cottage in an isolated village is the safest place to sit out a pandemic.

Will be getting this for husband.
We watched Mexico v South Africa last night. With all the red cards flying I had to check thrice if it wasn't And There Were None that I was watching.
Personally I think those player have no spatial awareness.
I love publication day.
Congratulations to Rob Potts.
Today we publish and launch.
A Football Odyssey - Passion, Politics & The Beautiful Game.

This is Orson Welles talking about his friendship with Ernest Hemingway. Imagine if people were still this articulate.
